Beggin' for relief for shoes

I was workin' on the project
|
Beggin' for relief for shoes
|
Because the rock an concrete
|
Hoo-well-well, now they giving my feet the blues
|
|
Workin' on the project
|
With holes all in my clothes
|
Workin' on the project
|
With holes all in my clothes
|
Tryin' to make me a dime
|
To keep the rent man from puttin me outdo's
|
|
I am workin' on the project
|
Tryin' to make both ends meet
|
I am workin' on the project
|
Tryin' to make ends meet
|
But the payday is so long
|
Woo-well-well, until the grocery man won't let me eat
|
|
Workin' on the project
|
My gal spending all my dough
|
Workin' on the project
|
My gal spending all my dough
|
Now I have waked up on her
|
Ooh-well-well, and I won't be that weak no mo'
|
|
Workin' on the project
|
With payday three or four weeks away
|
Workin' on the project
|
With payday three or four weeks away
|
Now, how can you make they meet
|
Ooo-well-well-well, when you can't get no pay?
